Worldwide MINI Sales Up for September

Sections: Sales Oct 10th, 2005 4 Comments

From MINI UK Press:

Worldwide 2005 MINI sales reach 159,413 units in the period up to and including September.

Sales of the MINI brand are also continuing to develop extremely satisfactorily. In September 2005, 20,112 MINI were delivered to customers (prev.yr.: 19,905 / +1.0%). In the period up to and including September, the number of vehicles delivered rose by 11.6% to 159,413 (prev.yr.: 142,883). Michael Ganal: “It was our aim to break the 200,000 barrier for the first time this year when it came to MINI sales. The figures available for the first three quarters of this year show that this ambitious target is perfectly within our reach.”

It’s interesting to see the relatively modest growth in worldwide sales compared to the huge increases seen in the US.

I’m not surprised sales figures are so robust at the moment….but, let’s see if things slow down when it comes time to order those first ’07s!!

lol, Yeah I know. Maybe some of the dealerships will lower their prices because of it. But with the gas prices being what they are, I don’t see that happening.

I would expect to see stronger sales numbers with the MK2′s. Production will be increased and dealers are already able to easily sell their entire allocation.

Also consider that most American car buyers are use to custom ordering or waiting for a couple months for their car. They want to buy that weekend from inventory assuming they can find something they like.

As much as some may only be luke warm to the Traveller concept, I’m confident that MINI will pull through with the actual MK2 COOPER and COOPER S, and with the increased allocations, it will make the car more accessible to people who shyed away from the ’02-’06 MINIs because of the wait.

Ultimately I feel that more MINIs on the road is a positive thing. MINI is still mini when it comes to production. Even if the number of MINIs produced doubled from current levels, MINI would still be a small volume car company.

You can’t say extremely satisfactorily
